Don’t know which weapon, artifact, or team will make the best Emilie build?
We’ve got you covered with our detailed Emilie build guide, which shares the best weapons, artifacts, and team comps that best suit her while explaining how they work with her character kit.
For players who don’t know much about Emilie, she is a 5-star off-field Dendro DPS unit and a Polearm wielder in Genshin Impact. She makes her debut as a playable character in the second half of the version 4.8 update.
For players looking forward to performing gacha pulls on her Character Event Wish banner, bookmark this guide so you know how to build her right.
Genshin Impact Emilie best build
The best build for Emilie focuses on improving her ATK%, as her abilities scale with this attribute, while maintaining a good CRIT Rate to CRIT DMG ratio and Dendro DMG Bonus%.
That being said, for players who don’t know, Emilie’s playstyle revolves around her Lumidouce Case ability, which you can trigger using her Elemental Skill, Fragrance Extraction, and her Elemental Burst, Aromatic Explication.
The ability has three levels — the higher the level, the higher its damage. But that’s the outset of Emilie’s damage-dealing capability.
The real damage comes from her passive skills, Lingering Fragrance, where each time it collects 2 Scents, the Level 2 Lumidouce Case will consume Scents and release Cleardew Cologne that deals AoE Dendro DMG equal to 600% of her ATK to opponents.
Combined with the other two passives, you’ll get a better idea of what sort of weapons, artifacts, and team comps you must be using with Emilie:
For the Genshin Impact veterans who might wonder whether Emilie’s Skills can snapshot, it does not, but on the bright side, her abilities have a high uptime due to the meager cooldown time.
With all that out of the way, let’s look at the best weapons, artifacts, and team comps you will need to attain the best build for Emilie in Genshin Impact.
Best Emilie build: Best weapons
The best weapon for Emilie in Genshin Impact is none other than her signature Polearm weapon, the Lumidouce Elegy, which offers a CRIT Rate% sub stat and a weapon skill called Bright Dawn Overture tailored towards Emilie’s character kit.
However, if you are not willing to perform gacha pulls on Emilie’s weapon, you’re able to use any other Polearm that offers a sub stat that raises CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, or ATK% and a weapon skill that increases ATK%, such as Shenhe’s signature Polearm, the Calamity Queller, Hu Tao’s Staff of Homa, Xiao’s Primordial Jade Winged-Spear or any other.
Craftable weapons like the Kitain Cross Spear or event weapons like the Missive Windspear are excellent choices for free-to-play players. For slight spenders, we recommend the Deathmatch Polearm, which you’re able to get from the Shop or battle pass. It is one of the best, if not the best, 4-star weapon choice for Emilie.
That being said, here’s a complete overview of the weapons, their rarity, sub-stat, and skills for weapons that we recommend using with Emilie:
Best Emilie build: Best artifacts
The best artifact for Emilie in Genshin Impact is the Unfinished Reverie set, which was introduced in the game with the version 4.6 update. The Unfinished Reverie not only significantly increases ATK% but also improves Emilie’s off-field DPS capabilities and benefits her Pyro team comps.
So how does that work? When you equip four pieces of the Unfinished Reverie artifact set, you get an 18% ATK bonus, and upon leaving combat for 3 seconds, the DMG dealt increases by 50%, with an additional 10%, stacking up to 50% if there are burning enemies.
Another great artifact for Emilie is the Deepwood Memories that you can use to focus on improving Emilie’s Dendro DMG, as it increases the Dendro DMG Bonus by +15% while reducing targets’ Dendro RES by 30% for 8 seconds.
However, if you don’t have good pieces of the above two artifact sets, you can also use an old set like the Golden Troupe to significantly increase the DPS output of Emilie’s Elemental Skill.
If you want to see what happens if you keep increasing Emilie’s ATK%, try equipping two pieces from artifact sets that improve the ATK% attribute.
That said, here are the artifacts, their set bonuses, and priority to ensure you equip the right set on Emilie:
Artifact sub-stats and attribute focus
When using the artifacts from the above-mentioned sets for Emilie, we recommend focusing on the following attributes while equipping each piece to ensure maximum DPS:
As for sub-stats, go as per this priority:ATK% > CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG > ER (Energy Recharge) > EM (Elemental Mastery)
Best Emilie build:Best team comps
Here are the best team comps for Emilie in Genshin Impact:
Best Emilie Team Comp 1
The Scents mechanic is one of the most crucial elements of Emilie’s character kit as it significantly increases her DPS. And how do you generate Scents? You do it when you use the Elemental Skill when opponents are Burning.
This team comp focuses on utilizing Zhongli for his shield and decreasing opponents’ Elemental and Physical RES. Arlecchino not only benefits from Burning enemies but she can also apply Burn status.
If you want to efficiently apply Burn to multiple enemies while reducing their resistance and increasing damage done by you for the respective element, you can use Kazuha instead of Zhongli.
As for Bennet, you need him to buff your ATK%, a battery to generate Energy Orbs and create Pyro Resonance with Arlecchino to get another 25% boost in ATK.
Best Emilie Team Comp2
This team comp is another version of the first team comp that uses Lyney as the main DPS and for applying Burn than Arlecchino. Other than that, run this team like you would with the first team comp.
Best Emilie Team Comp3
This team comp focuses on the Burn-Melt reaction to maximize the overall DPS output. Emilie will serve the Sub DPS role and help maintain the Burning status. For players who aren’t aware, you can increase the duration of Burning status by reapplying Dendro.
Wriothesly or Ganyu will serve as the main DPS and for proc’ing Melt with the help of a continuous Pyro applier like Xiangling. As for Bennet, you need him for what he does best—support!
